xR. FRANK /. KINGS REGULATIONS.

MR.. FRANK L. KINGS RECITATI0Ns.
This course Of truly artistic recitals
is one of the foremost attractions in
this years Chautauqua programme.
Its object is to stimulate the apprecia-
ton for classical music through the
medium of music connected with
words explaining each performance.
This object speaks for itself to every
lover and student of music.
The first recital was rendered in a
mastery manner by Prof. King before
a large and very intelligent audience.
1t commenced with prelude and
varie on the "Carman's WHISTLE" by
William Boyd (born 1888, died 1929.
1t was written for the Virginal Book
of Queen Elizabeth, and to our pres
ent taste appears rather crude and
unsatisfactory.
The next performance was the
Kings Hunting Jig" by John Bull
(1563-162S), also showing much
want OF form in composition.
Then followed the Allemande
and Grave" by Henry Dumont, being
melody, with variations, and show
ing already more beauty of compost
ton.
Next came Jean Baptiste Lully
1888 1887 with his Clique and Suite.
He is composer of much merit.
Johann Matheson (l6Sl-l763) was
introduced by his Courante and Clique.
His style resembles that of Handel.
Next followed the "Poule," by Jean
Philip Rameau (16S2-l764), a very de-
scriptive reproduction of scene in
the poultry yard.
Dominica Scarlatti, who lived from
1858 to 1857, contributed his allegro
in G minor.
Then came Johann Sebastian Bach
(16S5-1750) with composition charac-
teristic of most of his works, namely
a Fugue and the Gavote in G minor.
The Harmonious Blacksmith, by
Fredric Haendel (16S5-1759) repre-
sents the song Of some blacksmiths
while they work at their forge.
Karl Philip Emanuel Bach t17l4-
1889, a son of John Sebastian Bach,
supplied solfeggio. Next followed
Francis Joseph Haydn (1732-1s09)
with his senate in ID major, and like
all the rest Of the programme, rem
dered mastery by Mr.. King. The
last performance was the senate in A
major, by Amadeus Mozart, showing
the highest degree of perfection in
composition attained in the period
covered by Mr.. Kings first recital.
Loud applause awarded Mr.. King after
the close of this grand performance.
These rpcitals will ha continual and
will trace music through all its phases
and ages up to the present time, on
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and
Thursday, August list, I'd, Sd and 4th,
at 10 A. N.

CARL SEIZURE is not unmindful OF the
fact that he was once connected with
the newspaper press. In a recent in
rerview he says he has yet to see the
first case where anewspaper man will

of his rights. This is q true statement.
Many men rail at newspapers, but
when their grievances are simmered
down it is found, in many cases, that
the cause of the offending is that the

narration Of what he has seen and
heard. Some papers, reckless in their
criticisms of public men, assume a
state of things which does not exist,
but even these, in the statements
made in their news Or local columns,
rarely falsify. The aim of all reputa-
BILE newspapers is to be absolutely cor
cect in statements of fact.

RBPoRGs from the bean-growing To-
calities of Western New York Indicate
that the bean crop of this year is
very light. It is not often that beans
are hurt by too dry weather, but heat
and drought in July were too much
for them, and the yield per acre is di-
minished fully one.nalf. The acreage
also is smaller than usual, as neither
crops nor prices have been encourag-
ing for two Or three years past. 1t is
almost certain that by or before
spring beans will be considerably
higher than now. The short crop of
potatoes, also owing to the drought
has tendency to increase the demand
for beans.

THE increase in railroad earnings
continues right along. In the third
week of August, as seen by figures pub
lished in the New York Financial
Chronicle, sixty eight roads reported
an excess of 81 per cent. in earnings
over those of the same roads in the
corresponding week in 1886. What
makes the situation particularly
cheerful is the probability that the
activity in general trade, OF which the
growth in railroad receipts is one OF
the evidences, will largely increase dur
ing the fall and winter months as COM
pared with the spring and summer.

flow. At the depth of 915 feet, and
while the drill was in gray sandstone,
slight flow of gas came through

slighter gaseous odor. There is about
9l0 feet of water in the well. Work will

Editor O'Brien to be Imprisoned Under
the Crimes Act.
CORK. Sept 24.-The trial of William
O'Brien under the crimes act which was
commenced at Mitchelstown yesterday
was concluded to-day. The accused
was found guilty and sentenced to three
months imprisonment. Notice of ap-
peal from the judgment Of the court was
given.
At the opening of the trial to-day,
Mr.. Carson, counsel for the Crown, COM
planned to the judge that DR.. Tanner, a
member of Parliament, had yesterday
within the court, called him mean,
ruffian1y coward, and expressed the
hope that his head might be broken.
The court made note OF the complaint.
MIR. OBrien, replying to the charge
made against him of having used sedi-
tious language in a public address,
declared that the court was not eompe-
tent to try him because it was foreign in
it's composition to the requirements of
the British constitution. AT this point
the judge stopped Mr.. OBrien, saying
the discussion of politics would not be al
lowed in the proceedings. Mr.. OBrien
thereupon declared that he was chosen
representative OF the Irish people and

again stopped him.
Mr.. O'Brien. in his speech of defense,
said the crown was guilty of
having suppressed evidence favor
able to him. The crown had
withheld, for instance, the notes
made by the head constable of the de-
fendants speech. In these notes, he
said, was recorded his statement that
the Irish party would give the
land bill fair play. Continuing, MIR.
O'Brien justified his defense Of the
Kngstown tenants on the ground
that the eyictions against them were
commenced Just on the eve of the pas
sage of the land bill, and thus an at
tempt was made to delraud the poor
wretched tenants of the benefits of the
measure. He admitted that he had ad-
vised the tenants to not give up without
resistance and that he had declared
that, before God and man, they were
justified in defending their homes

New YORK, Sept. 24.-The sailing of
the English man-of-war Pilades from
Trinidad to Laguayra to demand indem-
nifty from the government of Venezuela
for the detention of the schooners jose
phine and Henriette, would seem to
point to an active policy on the part of
Great Britain in her dispute with the
South American republic. Senior de Silva,
the consul-general of Venezuela in
this city, says: ''The two schooners
have been detained for noncompliance
with the customs regulations. The ter
ritory which England has as
sumed control of is larger than
British Guinea, and it is territory
which Lord Granville acknowledged
belonged to Venezuela. They have also
taken the Island of Barima, at the
mouth of the Orinoco. The real gist of
his matter is the control of the Orinoco
River. AS far as war goes, the English
could, of course, blockade the Ven
ezuelan ports if the United States
would allow them to do 50. However,
before matters got to that point, sup
pose the United States would interfere. "

ton was made instantly apparent at the
department by the receipt OF offers to
sell within a short time alter the doors
of the department had been opened.
Acting Secretary Thompson was at the
White House and Treasury Department
last night until after midnight, discussing
with the President and the financial
officers of the treasury the details OF the
new plan for releasing some OF the treas
ury surplus. Several of the treasury Of
fcers are of the opinion that after
the first few days there will
not be any considerable amount
of bonds offered to the gov
eminent, but the moral effect of the cir
cular they believe will be good as the
knowledge that the government stands
ready to purchase $l4,000,000 of bonds
and throw that amount Of money upon
the market will, they say, tend to reas-
sure timid fnanciers.
The acting secretary of the treasury
to-day bought bonds TO the amount of
